Hi! I've been writing LotR fiction for around 3 years (and fanfiction in general for around 5). I first read The Hobbit when I was 13, and then I went straight into The Lord of the Rings! I'll be honest and admit that the movies did rekindle my love for the books, and hence, inspired me to start writing. Pippin has always been my favourite character, with Merry, Gollum, Aragorn, Legolas, Eomer, Eowyn, Gandalf, Theoden and Faramir in at second. Basically, the only characters I don't really like are Frodo and Denethor (and recently, I've started to dislike Frodo less, if that makes any sense :P).

The path to true love is never an easy one, as the four children of Paladin Took find out. Pearl has fallen in love with a sweet lad, but many in her family would consider him beneath her. Pimpernel starts to worry that she will never find that one special person, and will have to settle for an arranged marriage, or remain alone for the rest of her life. Pervinca has her eye set on Master Everard Took, and nothing will stand in her way, especially not Berilac Brandybuck. And Peregrin? Well, he's

As a cure for his young cousin's boredom, Meriadoc dares Peregrin to do something rather foolish. Unfortunately for both of them, Pippin succeeds, and puts both of them in serious trouble. Written for Marigold's #2 Challenge.

Pippin celebrates his 29th birthday in Minas Tirith, introducing Beregond and Bergil to the hobbit gift-giving tradition. But will Merry - still recovering from his encounter with the Witch-King - remember his favourite cousin's birthday?

It seems the War of the Ring was not the first war that four very famous hobbits participated in. After a winter snowfall in Hobbiton, Pippin, Merry, Frodo and Sam (along with Bilbo and Gandalf) have a little fun.
